2017 Jeep Wrangler

The 2017 Jeep Wrangler is largely the same iconic Wrangler that Jeepers and off-road enthusiasts have loved for years. It has the same rugged exterior look and all Wrangler models come standard with a 4×4 drivetrain. Edmunds has already rated the 2017 Jeep Wrangler with five out of five stars and other reviews have high regard for the 2017 Wrangler.

There are a few new changes to the 2017 Wrangler lineup including LED fog lights and head lamps and a new Cold Weather Group package. Additionally, the new Wrangler lineup has been condensed from 11 trims to eight trims for the 2017 model year.

Interior + Exterior Style

Classic Looks

The 2017 Jeep Wrangler’s exterior is nearly identical to 2016 models. The Wrangler’s doors are all metal and they detach when drivers want to open the vehicle up. The Jeep Wrangler has a boxy and rugged appearance and the front end has the same round headlights and the iconic seven-slot grille.

Exterior

Standard features on the Wrangler Sport (base trim) include 16-inch steel wheels, Goodyear tires, a soft top roof, fog lamps, halogen headlights, and a black fuel filler bezel. The Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon trims include now standard daytime running lights and of course all Wranglers come standard with a full-size spare wheel that is attached to the truck’s back door. Available exterior options include a hard top roof, all-season tires, larger wheels, chrome tail lamp guards, and a chrome fuel filler door.

Interior

Stepping into the interior of the vehicle, little has changed. Standard interior features like cloth seats, low bucket seats, reclining front seats, cargo tie down loops, manual doors and window locks, a storage tray remain the same. Optional interior features like leather seating, a chrome and leather wrapped shift knob, all-weather mopar floor mats, and heated seats are available as well.

Technology, Safety + Warranty

When it comes to technology, generally two types of vehicle technology come to mind. Those vehicle technologies include entertainment technology and safety technology. The 2017 Jeep Wrangler has plenty of both.

Entertainment

The 2017 Jeep Wrangler comes with all of the basic entertainment features and then some. The Wrangler Sport comes standard with an eight-speaker system, an audio jack, AM/FM radio and steering wheel mounted controls. Optional features (some of which that come standard on upper level trims) include a 9-speaker premium Alpine system with a subwoofer, a remote USB port, SiriusXM, and a UConnect system with Bluetooth connection.
